Sydney's best cultural restaurants

Sydney is the largest city in Australia with a population of over 4 million. And with a reputation for glamour over substance it is a city that has much more than beneath the surface. The holiday brochures will extol the harbour, with the iconic Sydney Opera House and harbour bridge. But Sydney is also home to some of Australia’s most prominent cultural institutions and museums.

IF you are travelling to Sydney, it most likely that you will be staying in or around the CBD. The majority of Sydney’s main tourist attractions can be found within a 5km radius of the CBD. So choosing to stay in the CBD or a CBD fringe suburb will be advantageous in getting the most out of your time in Sydney.

Transport:
The CBD is just 10km north of Sydney Airport and – in just 13 minutes – the Airport Link train from the Domestic Station remains the fastest way to get there ($15 adult one way,www.airportlink.com.au). Various airport shuttle bus companies operate (Airport Connect, from $12 one way, 1300 73 72 12), a taxi fare is around $30 (13 33 00) and key car rental companies are represented here and at offices in the city. In terms of driving longer distances from the CBD, Canberra is 3.5hrs southwest, Melbourne a further seven hours and Brisbane around 12hrs north.
